Im a diabetic and had taken an eye exam last yr. Everything

Customer Question

Im a diabetic and had taken an eye exam last yr. Everything turned out ok. Now I am concerened. When I look in the mirror I notice a light transparent grey on the iris part of my dark brown eyes. I notice it more when the light hits it a certain way. Otherwise they still look brown. I had my sisters look in my eye and they can see it. Looks as if the brown part is turning transparent. What causes this?

I saw the photos you sent me, I tend to think it is a very mild case of band keratopahty which is usually seen with folks with chronic low grade inflammation. I found a very early case of band for comparison, internet search typically comes up with very advanced cases where the whole cornea is clouded. It may simply be something else, called senile arcus, which is simply an aging change, that was a picture I posted earlier. Due to the fact that the photos are a bit hard to see, I would want you to get seen for confirmation and definitive treatment, I wish you the best , Dr. Stevens
